4-7 working days for e-ticket cancellation refund. 30-90 days for TDR refunds (where Railways approval required). 5-7 days for payment-failed-money-debited reversal.

Q: Bank says payment made but IRCTC says not received — what's the route?

Under RBI TAT framework: Rs 100/day beyond T+5 for payment failure. Under RTI Act Section 19(8)(b): compensation in First Appeal. Under Consumer Protection Act 2019: Consumer Forum damages.
